Matthew Rubashkin, Silicon Valley Data Science:
“[Google’s] TensorFlow is the 800-pound Gorilla in the room in regards to quantity of tutorials, training materials, and community of developers and users.”
Mentions of Deep Learning frameworks in papers uploaded to Arxiv-Sanity in March 2017:
% of papers framework has been around for (months)
------------------------------------------------------------
9.1 tensorflow 16
7.1 caffe 37
4.6 theano 54
3.3 torch 37
2.5 keras 19
1.7 matconvnet 26
1.2 lasagne 23
0.5 chainer 16
0.3 mxnet 17
0.3 cntk 13
0.2 pytorch 1
0.1 deeplearning4j 14
10% of all papers submitted in March 2017 mention TensorFlow. Of course, not every paper declares the framework used, but if we assume that papers declare the framework with some fixed random probability independent of the framework, then it looks like about 40% of the community is currently using TensorFlow (or a bit more, if you count Keras with the TF backend).
